Apple IIe Newbie - Need recommendations

Submitted by Ferrari-Dude on June 5, 2008 - 9:50pm

I finally snagged a basic Apple IIe on e-bay but it's just the computer with only one card. What options/toys/acoutrements am I going to want/need to have a functional and enjoyable setup?

need help getting started w/ Apple IIe

Submitted by badapple on May 30, 2008 - 4:24pm

Hi there. Just received an Applie IIe, bought from Ebay, no monitor, no disk drive, no software.

I plugged the RCA video cable into my TV. Turned it on.

I got the video test pattern in colors and nothing else.

I hear repeating beeps (5 rapid ones in a series) and nothing else displayed on the screen except the video test pattern.

I pressed Control Reset, Control - Open Apple - Reset to no avail.

Is this unit Dead-On-Arrival or do I need something else?

Please help! Sorry if I'm reposting or asking newbie questions here ...

The NTSC Vs PAL issue on Apple II originals

Submitted by arukum17 on May 28, 2008 - 6:16pm

I have an Apple II original (not plus, Rev 1)
It produces NTSC video output
If I use a NTSC to PAL video converter (like the ones advertised on ebay) will it work with a PAL monitor or PAL TV?
Or is there something about Wozniak's video colour tricks that would require this to use only an NTSC monitor/TV?

Apple IIGS - a few questions on getting started?

Submitted by commodorejohn on May 23, 2008 - 5:29pm

I picked up a mostly complete Apple IIGS setup and finally snagged a 3.5" floppy drive for it, with the intent of setting up GS/OS on it. But I have a few questions about it.

Fan or no fan in IIgs?

Submitted by iamdigitalman on May 22, 2008 - 11:28pm

Hey guys, I have a pair of IIgs woz editions, and I plan to give one away for trade of an Apple IIc on the local freecycle. I took what I could from the one and put it in the other one that looks better (and has a cleaner motherboard). I swapped expansion and RAM cards, port covers, and case tops. I noticed the difference between the two power supplies is one has a big fan bolted on the side, where the round cutouts are on the other one, and a lead that plugs in to the "fan" port on the motherboard. Both these board have this plug, but only one PS has it.
